Aside from no air conditioning, this hotel was fabulous. Central location and walking distance from train station. Extremely friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and bar served great drinks. They even provided us with to-go breakfast bags filled with lots of drinks and food when we left early one morning for a tour. The hotel even provided numerous fans so we could cool down despite the heat. I would stay here again.
